HR meeting

I had a Q'n'A and a form filling session with the HR(Human Resource) departement were we tried to sort some things out.
To my disappointment not many of my questions were answered, instead i got
somewhat suspicious if the HR department actually has the eye on things.
For example since i'm not going to pay tax in Sweden anymore how will this this affect my
interest deduction for my apartement here in Sweden. Well the answer is simple and obvious (after talking to the IRS): I can't do any deduction here in Sweden since I will not pay any tax here and apparantly I can't do the deduction in France either, this of course sucks because I will loose a substantial amount of money! However I asked for a tax advisor here in Sweden and they said that they will look into it. On the brighter side of life I received information that I will get to learn french during working hours.

I also must add a couple of word regarding skiing, and I will start by mentioning the ski resort that lies closest to Grenoble which is Chamrousse (~40 min drive or by bus). Chamrousse hosted the six alpine events at the winter olympics of 1968 where Jean-Claude Killy of France swept all three gold medals in the men's events. The picture above shows a Chamrousse slope with Grenoble city lights in the distance.

Next week I will also attend some cultural training (whatever that means), more info on that to come!
